Sat, 22 Mar 2014 22:12:18 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=698403#comment-289704Whether his numbers warrant that or not is irrelevant. Melo has long been one of the most popular players in the league, with one of the most recognizable names and faces in the league – top 5 in jersey and shoe sales, a top endorsement earner, all of that. At this point you can only beg that people stop considering him a superstar, because he’s been one for years.

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 21:57:51 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=698403#comment-289697Okay – this is another Paul George myth (like when he was 6’11 back in 2012). George is not exerting himself so much more than other good two-way players to the point where its negatively affecting only his offense. He’s simply struggling to score. Sometimes there is no direct cause for it. He could have fresh legs and still enter a shooting slump. It happens all the time.

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 21:57:00 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=698403#comment-289695Cruz,

Are you talking about Paul George or Melo?

You say “He’s very good but not “superstar” good.” Does that apply to George? Check. Does that apply to Melo? Check…

Then you said that ““Superstars” have the ability to carry bad to average teams…” Can George do this? Nope. Can Melo do this? Nope.

Check out Melo’s playoff stats for his ENTIRE career. Like how far his teams have NOT gone in ANY of them…

Check out his stats too… they DROP in the playoffs… In his 21 playoff games as a member of the Knicks, he’s shooting .297% from 3 pt range… NOT GOOD.

Why did I just mention that? Because you said George has disappeared, including in the playoffs.

You’re RIGHT, George HAS disappeared as you said. So HAS Melo in the playoffs… clink, clank, clunk go his shots. LESS than 30%… not good…

Through his first 42 games (thru Jan 24) he shot 46.4%, with 18 games over 50% and 6 games over 60%. In his last 27 games he’s been shooting 37.8%, with only 6 games over 50% and 0 games over 60% (including one 0% effort vs Charlotte).

He’s been struggling for a while now.

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 19:58:57 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=698403#comment-289661Tired? Really? He’s 23 years old. The guy he was trying to guard Wednesday night (Carmelo Anthony) is 29 years old & averages more minutes per game as well (38.8 vs George’s 35.9). It’s not like we haven’t seen this anemic type of offensive output from George before. Twice in last year’s playoffs we saw this kid disappear in clinching games. In game 6 vs the Hawks, he went 2-10 from the field, 0-5 from 3 & finished with 4 points in 44 minutes of play. In game 7 vs the Heat, he went 2-9 from the field, 1-4 from 3 & finished with 7 points in an elimination game.

The media has made this kid out to be better than he actually is in my opinion. He’s very good but not “superstar” good. In November the media was ready to anoint him as the second coming of LBJ. In my opinion he’s closer to Andre Igoudala than he is Lebron James. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. George is a VERY good player playing on a very good team. “Superstars” have the ability to carry bad to average teams….I don’t think George has that ability. These kind of performances shouldn’t be blamed on “tired legs”…..It’s just Paul George being Paul George.

Pretty sure you need legs to pull that off.
